An excellent clinic on all levels

An excellent physio clinic on all levels. I have been treated at the Harborne clinic by Gerard, and several other members of his team and each one has been welcoming, professional, and always taken the time needed to treat ‘the whole person’.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

This is the Place for your Mummy MOT

Gerard and his team are an exceptional team of physiotherapists, if you have just had a baby and are looking for help with post-natal recovery, diastasis, pelvic pain or prolapse then this is the place to come for your Mummy MOT. You will be in such great hands with all the latest technology, knowledge and a listening ear. Thanks Gerard and team!

Highly recommended and early morning appointments!

Highly recommended! Gerard is an excellent physio and the clinic is pleasant and calm. Great that early morning appointments are offered too. Gerard takes time to carefully explain things, is clearly very knowledgeable and is also very positive and easy to talk to.

Do yourself a favour and get things sorted

What started out as a stiff upper back has turned into a whole journey of improvement - neck, shoulders, back, hips. A new fluidity in movement. The initial consultation was relaxed and there were instant gains too. Gerard works confidently which puts you at ease with the treatment. Once mobility had improved it was on to Georgina for some fabulous soft tissue manipulation. Again easy going and confident with her work; the movement I have gained that I never knew I lost has been life changing. Thank you both so much! Aches and pains? You're not getting old, you need physio!! Do yourself a favour...

I'm enjoying being active again

Lovely, welcoming environment at Barefoot Studio. Always welcomed and seen almost immediately. I have suffered with re-occurring back pain over many years due to an injury. Gerard manipulates my back to loosed stiffened muscles and gives advice on treatment, stretches and offers great encouragement. I have resumed swimming and stationary cycling due to the improvement in my back and once more enjoy physical activity - before I was in too much pain and too stiffened too enjoy!

Gerard is polite, professional but adds his own touch of personality to the visits, he's very approachable and always very supportive! AJ

18 months of post natal problems gone, thank you Sundeep

My postnatal physio with Sundeep was absolutely brilliant. I had a full holistic assessment and then treatment which fully resolved some post natal issues that had been going on for 18 months. Thank you Sundeep! SP

I am back playing music, thank you!

Amazing service from Gerard Greene and the other physios. I was treated for neck and shoulder pain which, as a musician, prevented me from performing and put me out of work for a short while. After only a couple of sessions it was more or less gone. Can't rate them highly enough! GC

Pelvic Pain and someone who can treat it

Gerard has been absolutely amazing, his treatments are absolutely fantastic his understanding of rare conditions and treatment are absolutely amazing, I can't thank Gerard enough ALREADY FEELING BETTER AFTER ONLY 10 DAYS!!! CC

Ante & Post Natal Physio : First Class

Gerard and colleagues have helped many of our clients to overcome the physical challenges that often accompany pregnancy, birth and the post natal period. Whilst many of their issues with pelvic pain, back pain, continence, etc. are common, they're not "normal" and no women in the local area need suffer in silence, nor accept these things as something to tolerate with the Harborne Physio nearby.

And from a personal perspective, Fiona is very much living up to her reputation as a first class women's health physiotherapist. K C

Thanks for sorting out my running legs, Gerard

Many many thanks to Gerard for sorting out my running leg(s)! I had a post-tib injury on and off for the best part of three years and he completely sorted me out. Gerard is very personable and really listened to my injury woes - when I first visited I was feeling very low about my situation, but Gerard very quickly allowed me to see the injury as manageable. He gave me, for example, a few exercises to work on each week and this made it straightforward and achievable to work on at home and within a fortnight I was seeing progress. Gerard was also great at giving advice as to how to get slowly back into running, as too many times I had tried too much, too soon. Also had some fantastic sports massages which helped my recovery along. Can't recommend the practice enough.  JC

Post Natal Physio : I feel I've been pulled out of a hole!

Harborne Physio was recommended to me from a family class I was attending at the time, due to the fact I was experiencing back pain during and post pregnancy, and also thought I had diastastis recti.

What I visioned and what I actually got were two entirely different things. I expected some exercises and some manipulation to ease my back. Yet, I received holistic support way beyond expectation.

They looked at my diet and lifestyle, where I carry tension, (which also encouraged me to look at WHY I carry so much tension). I had no idea that my diet was contributing so much to my lack of repair. I thought I was eating relatively well, but actually what I was lacking was way more important.

Also addressed was my hydration, my connective tissue repair, my overall diet, my back in a physical sense and also managed to address my anxiety and the effect this had on my body head on all within an hour. I was recommended a mindfulness class nearby to where I live, in order to release tension mentally, and therefore benefit physically.

Before this, I didn't think very highly of myself at all. In fact, I disliked so much of how I looked and how I felt. I was governed by my back pain and riddled with tension and anxiety.

Now, I have made many permanent changes, thanks to the team's support. I am kinder to my body and have a more relaxed mind, which in turn has given me more self worth. I very rarely go at break-neck speed which was a normal pace for me before, thanks to the encouragement to stop, breathe, and let go of tension through my core. I have now learnt how to 'let go' and, this combined with the massage, manipulation, stretching, pelvic floor assessment and supplements has actually helped me more than I could have imagined.

I feel I've been pulled out of a literal hole.

Thank you to the team at Harbone Physio, for not only being a fantastic physiotherapists, but also for being an amazing holistic one.

Complete Confidence

Having only spent 2 sessions with Gerard, I'm already completely confident that by working with him, I'll be able to reduce and manage my pelvic pain symptoms. He approaches treatment from a whole body perspective, considering emotional and stress-related factors as well as musculoskeletal issues. The real emphasis of the sessions has been implementing a treatment plan that I can follow from home, this is empowering as it means that I'm not reliant on seeing him to improve my situation, but can instead make progress at home and know that the plan will be developed during our next session.

Like Magic!

Like magic! Gerard has already made a huge difference in a short time. His professional, friendly manner and high level of experience & knowledge means that each session is a really positive and beneficial experience. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Team

Gerard has brought together a fantastic and incredibly talented group of physio's and therapists. Great idea to link his team with Faye and her fabulous teachers at Barefoot. An innovative approach to treating patients and getting great outcomes.

Excellent

Excellent. Not just in treating the condition - relatively minor in my case - but in understanding and treating the whole person. Very good at managing expectations, setting realistic goals, and helping you to achieve them. The team exudes competence of a very high order

I floated out of the clinic

After a long arduous week following the Birmingham half marathon I couldn't wait to get myself down to the Harborne Physio clinic at Barefoot Yoga where I was treated by Gerard (whom I have met many a time in the Physio world but never as a patient). He ran me through a comprehensive yet quick assessment to get to the root of those 'problem areas'. He provided a thorough but comfortable treatment of sports massage; he should be commended on his distraction techniques whilst he was working on those 'tender spots'. I definitely did float out of the clinic It's a fab clinic in a great location - can't wait to try out some of the Yoga classes. Thanks for your help Gerard, I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Wealth of Knowledge

I have every confidence in Gerard - He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He diagnosed and successfully treated my ankle injury, and clearly understood how important it was for me to get back to marathon training as soon as possible (most important!) I have no hesitation in recommending him wholeheartedly.
